Kool & The Gang found a special sound at the unique intersection of jazz, r&b, funk and pop. From the loose groove of Funky Stuff to the wild stomp of Jungle Boogie, the gentle romance of Cherish to the elegant disco of Ladies Night, and the

street-smart chant Hollywood Swinging to the international anthem, Celebration, it's an extraordinary sweep of popular music. It has been created by the same core of players for thirty years: Robert "Kool" Bell, his brother Khalis Bayyan, their longtime friends Dennis "DT" Thomas, Charles Smith and George "Funky" Brown, and past members Robert "Spike" Mickens, the late Ricky West, and Woody Sparrow.
